I just bought a really nice 114H. It looks new. Came in the box with the manual, wrench,tube of penn grease and an extra reel clamp with a lug on the clamp. It looks to me like it has never been used. I was looking for a reel to use on Wahoo in the Bahamas. I really don't need one this pretty. The 114 is also a bit light anyhow. Would anyone want to trade me this reel for a user quality different reel that will be fished and used?
That's a very nice-looking reel. (Quite saleable on eBay, I should think.) Since you regard it as "light", what model are you thinking of in terms of a replacement? A Senator 9/0? Or maybe an International? :)

If someone had a well used international that would be great. It just seems a shame to take such a nice reel and make it into a user reel. We fish wahoo in the Bahamas and troll at 18 kts so a 6/0 is actually the smallest that will work. The 115's are kinda the same reel just with more line.
